LETTER FROM

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS OF THOR INDUSTRIES:

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Management, we thank you for your continued trust and confidence in THOR Industries, Inc.

In last year’s letter to shareholders, we predicted that Management’s continued focus on its strategic plan in favorable market conditions would drive another successful year for your Company. Our Management delivered. Your Company’s portfolio of industry-leading and innovative products continues to capture the imagination of consumers across the world, driving your Company to achieve a record financial performance while at the same time continuing to realize its ESG initiatives and pledges.

This type of performance did not come without its challenges. Throughout the year, Management continued to steer your Company through the obstacles presented by the pandemic and supply

chain constraints while at the same time pushing against new challenges, including the economic disruption caused by the invasion of Ukraine, energy and gas price increases, interest rate increases, rising inflation, and drops in consumer confidence. Fiscal Year 2022 taught us that not even these formidable headwinds will dampen the spirit of people to pursue their passion for freedom, travel, inclusiveness, and safety presented by the RV lifestyle and your Company’s products.

While macro-economic factors continue to present challenges to the entire marketplace, the Company’s culture of adaptation positions the Company as the industry leader, capable and ready to capitalize on the opportunities presented by any market. The Company’s results demonstrate the resiliency of its business model, which enables it to outperform across the economic cycle.

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our Fiscal Year 2022

Operating Performance

Fiscal Year 2022 started where Fiscal Year 2021 left off—a robust market with unprecedented demand for RVs. While this demand continued to stress our supply chain beyond its capacity, we were still able to push our production capacities to new highs. Early in the Fiscal Year, we closed the purchase of Airxcel, a well-established supplier of many essential parts to the industry. This acquisition, and the Company’s subsequent investments in growing Airxcel’s product offerings, inventory, and product performance, have strongly benefited the entire industry. As Calendar Year 2021 came to a close, and as Calendar Year 2022 began, rising inflation, the war in Ukraine, fear of a recession, reduced consumer confidence, and increased energy and interest costs all contributed to a tempering of demand that continued through the end of the Fiscal Year. But, just as we were able to quickly ramp up production in the face of unprecedented demand, we were able to nimbly adjust production to hold margin and prevent an unsustainable build-up of inventory in the face of more moderate demand.

For Fiscal Year 2022, THOR’s net income was $1.14 billion, an increase of greater than 72% over last year’s previous record net income. For the fiscal year, our diluted earnings per share were $20.59, an increase of nearly 74% over last year’s record of $11.85. Our stock started the fiscal year at $118.36 and ended the fiscal year at $84.33. Taking advantage of the disconnect between financial performance and stock value, we instituted a stock repurchase program in December and through the end of Fiscal Year 2022, had repurchased $165.1 million of our common stock.

ESG Developments

In Fiscal Year 2022, we continued to safeguard your Company through excellence in corporate governance, including reviewing and refreshing our committee charters and governance guidelines.

During the year, your Company also remained focused on ways it can continue to be an impactful global citizen, expanding and building upon its strong

foundations of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”) and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) principles. In October, we released our fifth annual Sustainability Report which we encourage you to review. The highlights of the report are stated in these materials.

As part of our Board refreshment strategy, Christina Hennington and Laurel Hurd joined the Board in September 2021, and Director Jim Ziemer retired effective October 1, 2022. Over his 12 years of service, Jim brought great financial acumen and experience to our boardroom and served as the Chair of our Audit Committee from December 2011 through March 2022. Jim leaves having earned the respect and admiration of the Board and Management.

Looking Ahead

As we look ahead to Fiscal Year 2023, we remain confident that the camping and outdoor lifestyle that RV ownership promotes will continue to drive demand. We believe our portfolio of innovative products is best positioned to meet that demand. At the same time, Management remains committed to disciplined production, aligned to meet current demand without overproducing and overloading our independent dealer channel. Over the years the Company has proven itself to be a top-performer in any market and, whatever Fiscal Year 2023 brings, we are ready.

The Board of Directors of THOR Industries, Inc.

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Each of our nine currently-serving directors has been nominated for re-election to serve a single-year term. Each of these individuals has agreed to be named in our Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serve as a member of the Board of Directors if elected by the Shareholders. In making this nomination, our Board recognizes that it is of the utmost importance to the Company that the nominees are individuals who bring crucial skills and unique voices to our boardroom, and the Board carefully considered each nominee’s contributions to the Board and his or her unique skills and qualifications.

The representatives designated to vote by proxy intend to vote FOR the election of the nominees listed below. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable for election (a situation our Board does not now anticipate), the shares represented by proxies will be voted, unless authority is withheld, for such other person as may be designated by our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee.

Qualifications

and Process for Nominees

Our Board believes that it is necessary for each of our Directors to possess many diverse qualities and skills. When searching for new candidates, our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee follows our Diversity Policy as the Board seeks to expand Board diversity. In any search, the Board also considers the evolving needs of our Board. Our Board also believes that all Directors must possess a considerable amount of business management experience. Our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates candidates on the satisfaction of any independence requirements imposed by law, regulation, and the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). When evaluating Director candidates, our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee first considers a candidate’s business

management experience and then considers that candidate’s judgment, background, stature, conflicts of interest, integrity, ethics, and commitment to the goal of maximizing Shareholder value. In addition, our Board and Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee believe that it is essential that our Board members represent diverse viewpoints. In our more recent candidate searches, our Board has followed a diversity practice which it formally established as policy at its October 2017 Board meeting (the “Diversity Policy”). The Diversity

16

##### Table of Contents

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Policy requires our Board to obtain an initial slate of candidates that includes qualified candidates with diversity of race, ethnicity, and gender. In considering candidates for our Board, our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials, in addition to diversity, as they fit with the credentials and skills of the current composition of the Board. We consider our Board of Directors to be a valuable strategic asset of our Company. To maintain the integrity of this asset, our Board of Directors has been carefully crafted to ensure that its expertise covers diversity of experience and perspective, and these attributes will continue to be considered when nominating individuals to serve on our Board. With respect to the nomination of continuing Directors for re-election, the individual’s contributions to our Board are also considered.

BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” the nominees.

Each member of each Committee is independent in accordance with the rules of the NYSE.

Director Independence

Of our ten (10) Directors in Fiscal Year 2022, only one was employed by our Company, our CEO Mr. Martin. With the exception of Mr. Martin and Mr. Orthwein (who retired as an employee of the Company at the end of Fiscal Year 2019 and is independent as of Fiscal Year 2023), our Board in Fiscal Year 2022 was comprised entirely of “independent” Directors as that term is defined by both NYSE listing standards and our own Governance Guidelines. The Board conducts an annual review to determine the continued “independence” of all of our independent Directors. For Fiscal Year 2023, after the retirement of Mr. Ziemer effective October 1, 2022, each of our nine (9) directors is independent with the exception of Mr. Martin.

Independent Director Meetings

THOR’s independent Directors, as an entire body or part thereof, meet in non-executive sessions that include non-independent directors and independent directors and meet in executive session (comprised of only independent directors) at the conclusion of each Audit Committee meeting, each Compensation and Development Committee, and each Board meeting.

Director Attendance

During Fiscal Year 2022, the Board of Directors held 10 meetings. In the aggregate, Directors attended 93% of the total meetings of the full Board. No Director attended less than 96% of the combined total meetings of the full Board and the Committees on which the Director served during this past year. All

of the members of the Board are encouraged, but not required, to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of the members of the Board attended the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Annual Board and Committee Evaluation

Each year, our Board conducts evaluations of each Committee and the Board as a whole. This process includes evaluation of the individual members of the Committees and the Board. The evaluation includes a process of dynamic feedback designed to identify areas of increased focus.

Board Risk Oversight

At both the full Board and Committee level, a primary function of our Board of Directors is to oversee the Company’s risk profile and the processes established by Management for managing risk. Our Board and its Committees regularly evaluate these risks and the mitigation strategies employed by Management. In general terms, our Committees oversee the following risks:

Audit Committee

All risks related to financial controls, including all applicable legal, regulatory, and compliance risks, as well as the overall risk management governance structure, including evaluating and responding to the assessments of both our internal audit department and our external auditors.

Compensation and Development Committee

All risks associated with the design and elements of our compensation program and related compliance issues, and all risks associated with the process of developing our people and succession planning.

Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee

All risks within the scope of the Company’s governance programs and applicable compliance issues.

In performing its oversight responsibilities, the Board relies, in part, upon the results and information gained through the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Program, and considers the program for amendment, as appropriate. The program is designed to ensure appropriate risk monitoring of, and controls over, risks associated with our business. Risks evaluated through the program include, but are not limited to, those risks related to strategy, operations, acquisition integration, legal, compliance, human resources, mergers & acquisitions, IT & cyber security, operations, and finance.

The Board receives regular reports from Management regarding the status of its risk management programs, and provides input and direction designed to keep the risk management programs effective against the ever-evolving risk landscape applicable generally to commercial enterprises and specifically to our Company.

The Board and Management have developed a culture of risk awareness and risk management that includes annual Company-wide ethics training. Through this constant and interactive process, the Company gains input from its employees as it evaluates risks and updates its management plan accordingly.

Diversity Policy

In Fiscal Year 2017, our Board formalized a Diversity Policy that it has followed in recent Board candidate searches. Under the Board’s Diversity Policy, the initial list of candidates to be considered must include qualified candidates with diversity of race, ethnicity, and gender. Our Board initiated a Board refreshment plan several years ago and strictly adhered to the diversity policy in the process, resulting in our four (4) newest Board members being diverse candidates.

27

##### Table of Contents

Succession Planning

Our Board is actively engaged in talent management and succession planning. Our succession plan and talent management programs are reviewed semi-annually with the Compensation and Development Committee, and then reviewed and considered by the full Board. These discussions include an ongoing evaluation of our talent and leadership bench and the succession plan that envisions those individuals’ advancement to key positions in our Company. In addition, high-potential employees are regularly evaluated and engaged in comprehensive training, both on the job and in the classroom.

Mandatory Resignation Policy

In Fiscal Year 2017, our Board implemented a mandatory, age-based resignation policy, requiring each Director who is 72 years of age or older to submit his or her resignation for consideration by the Board at our October Board meeting for action at our Annual Meeting. If the Board accepts the Director’s resignation at the October Board meeting, the Director’s resignation would be effective at the Annual Meeting or earlier if agreed to by the Board and the retiring Director.

Shareholder Communications and Engagement

We encourage Shareholder communication with the Company and actively engage our Shareholders in dialogue. Any communications from interested parties directed toward our Board or independent Directors specifically may be sent to Andrew Graves, our Independent Chairman, who forwards to each of the other Board members or independent Directors, as appropriate, any such communications that, in the opinion of Mr. Graves, deal with the functions of our Board or its Committees. Mr. Graves’ address for this purpose is c/o THOR Industries, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 601 East Beardsley Avenue, Elkhart, IN 46514.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written code of ethics, the “THOR Industries, Inc. Business Ethics Policy”, which is applicable to all of our Directors, Officers, and employees, including our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller, and other Executive Officers identified in this Proxy Statement who perform similar functions. Our code of ethics is posted on

##### Table of Contents

our website found at www.thorindustries.com and is available in print to any Shareholder who requests it. Each year members of the management teams at each of our subsidiaries, as well as our NEOs, engage in training on our Business Ethics Policy. We intend to disclose any changes in, or waivers from, our code of ethics applicable to any Selected Officer on our website or by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.

Our Governance Practices

THOR is committed to governance principles that are designed to be in the best interest of our Shareholders. Our Board evaluates each governance principle as it uniquely applies to THOR. In some instances, this leads our Board to adopt and/or maintain policies that it deems in the best interest of THOR that may not be fully consistent with the views held by others. These decisions and determinations are not made lightly; instead, great consideration is given to the adoption of principles believed to be best suited to THOR’s long-term success. Controlling governance principles include:

• |  | Our Board currently has a total of nine (9) members, eight (8) of whom are independent, and all of whom have significant business operations and/or management experience.

• |  | Our Board is not classified, meaning each Director is elected by the shareholders annually.

• |  | We maintain separate Chairman and CEO positions.

• |  | Our Chairman is Independent.

• |  | Directors who are not elected by a majority of votes cast in uncontested elections are required to submit their resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board.

• |  | The Board and each of its Committees conduct an annual self-evaluation.

• |  | Our Board and NEOs have stock ownership and retention guidelines.

• |  | We closely monitor the alignment of our NEO compensation with our long-term shareholder return and with benchmarks.

• |  | We maintain a policy prohibiting derivative trading, hedging, and pledging by our Section 16 Officers and Directors.

• |  | We maintain a “no-fault” clawback policy that requires all recipients of incentive compensation to repay any compensation awarded based on financial results that are subsequently restated.

• |  | The Board regularly reviews the Company’s succession plan and talent management program.

• |  | There is no Shareholder rights plan or “poison pill”.

• |  | Management and the Board maintain a Shareholder engagement strategy, which has created the opportunity and expectation of outreach to and dialogue with our Shareholders.

• |  | We maintain an ESG policy effectuated by a Committee over which our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee has oversight.

In Fiscal Year 2022, Director Stock Awards were changed to be awarded within the Fiscal Year earned, thus resulting in two awards during Fiscal Year 2022 for those directors who served in both Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2022.

| (3) | Mr. Kelley became chairman of the Audit Committee, replacing Mr. Ziemer, effective March 2022.

We seek input from our shareholders on our compensation program through what is commonly called the “Say on Pay” vote. The Company also invites all shareholders to provide feedback directly to the Company by contacting Trevor Gasper, one of our Named Executive Officers and our Corporate Secretary. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Proxy Statement. While the Say on Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation and Development Committee, or the Board, the feedback from our shareholders is very important to us. The Board and the Committee will review the voting results and consider them, along with any specific insight gained from Shareholders of the Company and other information relating to the Shareholder vote on this proposal, when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

Through your vote of approval, we ask that you endorse the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including disclosures in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables, and any related material disclosed in this Proxy Statement, is hereby APPROVED.

Executive Summary

Our Business

Our Company is the leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles in North America and Europe. It also owns suppliers to the industry. For more information about our business, please see “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2022.

2022 Business Highlights

Fiscal Year 2022 was the best year of financial performance in the history of our Company. THOR set records in net sales, net income, earnings per share, and cash generated from operations. Importantly, in addition to this outstanding financial performance, Management maintained its focus on making meaningful progress in both its ESG initiatives and DEI programs.

Over the course of the year, Management continued to steer the Company through the obstacles presented by the pandemic and supply chain constraints while at the same time navigating through new challenges, including war in Europe, rising inflation, increasing energy costs, energy shortages in Europe, and an increase in consumer interest rates. The beginning of Fiscal Year 2022

began where Fiscal Year 2021 left off—an industry powered by very strong retail demand but constrained by supply bottlenecks. THOR continued to proactively manage these issues on its way to four (4) quarters of record performances.

As it managed the supply chain issues, Management identified and seized upon an opportunity to bolster the supply chain through the approximately $750 million acquisition of Airxcel, a manufacturer of numerous key components that closed on September 1, 2021. This acquisition has placed THOR

36

##### Table of Contents

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

in a position to positively affect supply for the entire industry. THOR has already expanded Airxcel’s production capacity and product offerings to bolster supply to the industry and to meet retail demand.

Concurrently with purchasing Airxcel, THOR upsized its ABL credit facility to a total of $1 billion to increase its liquidity. And, on the heels of this upsizing, THOR took advantage of favorable pricing and restructured $500 million of its long-term debt through the issuance of 4.0% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029.

THOR aggressively deployed its capital by investing in our operations, increasing shareholder dividends, paying down its debt, and repurchasing shares of its stock.

For the fiscal year, our net sales increased nearly 33% from $12.3 billion to $16.3 billion while our net income increased by over 72% from $659.9 million to $1.14 billion, and we generated cash from operations of $990.3 million.

THOR’s stock performance did not track its record financial performance, as investors and analysts became increasingly skittish throughout the fiscal year due to fears of a recession and macroeconomic events such as inflation, energy costs, and rising interest rates and their perceived impact on consumer spending. We started the fiscal year at a stock price of $118.36 and closed our fiscal year at $84.33, despite our record performance. As stock price continued to lag performance, THOR became increasingly active and aggressive in its stock repurchase program, finishing the fiscal year with 1,944,243 shares repurchased at an average price of $84.92 per share.

We remain very pleased with Management’s performance as it maintained a steadfast focus on the safety of our team members while operating in the face of a pandemic, quickly adapted to a very new normal in our operating environment and supply chain, and continued to re-adapt as macroeconomic events continued

37

to throw obstacles in the Company’s path. Management’s performance this Fiscal Year once again affirmed that THOR is a company that will outperform in any economic cycle.

Key highlights from Fiscal Year 2022 include:

• |  | North American Towables and North American Motorized net sales increased 39.2% and 49.1%, respectively, compared to Fiscal Year 2021’s performance;

• |  | Net income attributable to THOR Industries, Inc. was $1.14 billion, an increase of over 72% over Fiscal Year 2021 net income; and

• |  | A record Diluted EPS of $20.59.

Executive Compensation Highlights

Fiscal Year 2022 marked the Company’s third year under its revised compensation plan which relies heavily upon incentive compensation measured by adjusted net before tax profit (our “NBT”), return on invested capital (“ROIC”), and free cash flow (“FCF”). In Fiscal Year 2022, the pay plan aligned very well with the Company’s performance.

The foundation of the plan is an annual benchmarking process to compare Management’s pay to our compensation peers and the market more broadly. For benchmarking in Fiscal Year 2022, our CEO’s targeted pay was at 65% of our peer group, a level which the Board found to be merited based upon his and Management’s performance. Once benchmarked, actual compensation is heavily weighted toward incentive compensation determined by the relative realization of performance metrics that are established annually by the Board at the same time it approves the Company’s operating and compensation plans. We believe our compensation plan reinforces the long-term incentive elements of our program, utilizing multiple metrics that align well with shareholder return.

As in years past, in Fiscal Year 2022, a predominant percentage of our CEO and other Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) compensation was variable incentive pay.

Highlights of our compensation practices for Fiscal Year 2022 included:

• |  | No upward adjustment in base compensation;

• |  | Continued input and advice from our compensation consultant;

• |  | Continued analysis of, and reliance upon, benchmarking data;

• |  | Maintenance of our comprehensive “no fault” clawback policy;

• |  | No discretionary awards paid to our NEOs;

• |  | Maintenance of our Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines and an increase in Retention Guidelines for our Board;

• |  | No awards of stock options;

• |  | No perquisites awarded to our NEOs other than a periodic physical exam;

• |  | Utilization of relative metrics in determining MIP and LTI; and

• |  | Continued dedication to our transparent and true “pay for performance” philosophy based on profit before tax.

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our Compensation Philosophy: Incentivize Value Creation By Tying Pay To Performance

Our Plan

Our compensation plan is comprised of a base salary, cash incentive compensation through our Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), and a long-term incentive (“LTI”) component that is comprised of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”).

Relying upon input and benchmarking guidance from our compensation consultant, our Compensation and Development Committee establishes target compensation as a percentage of our peer group pay. For Fiscal Year 2022, our CEO’s target compensation was set at 65% of the peer group benchmarks. Half of that targeted compensation is designed to be paid in cash compensation through a combination of base salary and MIP awards while the other half is designed to be paid in equal parts RSU and PSU awards. The RSU awards are based upon our NBT relative to forecasted performance while the PSUs are based on equal parts of free cash flow (“FCF”) and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) relative to forecasted performance. Our RSU awards vest over a three-year period and are determined based on a one-year performance period while the PSU awards are measured over a three-year performance period and vest upon conclusion of the performance period.

Once the targeted compensation is determined as a percentage of peer benchmark, the Company’s Board-approved forecasted performance is

used to calculate the sharing percentages for all incentive compensation (the MIP, RSU, and PSU awards). Both the targeted compensation and the sharing percentages are reset each year based upon benchmarking data and the Company’s forecast. Thus, both the MIP and LTI portions of our NEO compensation is measured relative to expected Company and market performance and are not based on absolute metrics. The MIP and RSU elements of the incentive compensation pay $0 to our NEOs in circumstances where NBT is not attained and the PSU element pays $0 when metrics are realized at less than 50% of their respective forecasted targets.

This relative metric mechanism prevents excessive compensation that could arise from steadily growing NBT, ROIC, and/or FCF because each year the compensation percentages are reset to align with the benchmarked targets and projected performance. Accordingly, as targeted performance rises, the sharing percentages used to calculate incentive compensation fall to maintain alignment with benchmarks.

As mentioned, the LTI component of the plan is comprised of equal parts RSUs and PSUs. The RSUs awarded are based on a percentage of NBT in a manner consistent with our historical practice with shares of the Company issued thereafter on a one share per RSU basis over a three-year vesting period. The PSUs awarded are based upon realization of targets for the key performance metrics, ROIC and FCF, over a three-year performance period. Shares earned based on PSU-tied performance will be adjusted based upon the following schedule (with ROIC and FCF components weighted equally):

Percentage of Realization of Target |  | Percentage Payout of Award
Less than 50% |  | 0%
50%-150% |  | The actual percentage of realization will equal the percentage of payout
Greater than 150% |  | 200%

##### Table of Contents

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

We will continue our critical analysis of our compensation programs relative to our return to our shareholders. Based on that ongoing assessment, the Committee will annually evaluate whether the program requires further evolution.

We also regularly solicit feedback from our shareholders and our shareholders have also been supportive of our Compensation plan through historical votes and direct feedback.

Shareholder Understanding and Feedback is Important To Us During Fiscal Year 2014, we began to solicit input and feedback on our compensation program from our Shareholders. The response to date has been overwhelmingly supportive of our program. We will continue to take advantage of opportunities to solicit input from our Shareholders in the future as Shareholder understanding and feedback is important to us. Our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Trevor Gasper, coordinates these discussions for us. Feel free to contact Mr. Gasper if you have questions or wish to provide feedback about our compensation program. He can be reached at (574) 970-7460 or investors@thorindustries.com.

In addition to the “pay for performance” principles first adopted by our founders in 1980, our Compensation and Development Committee is guided by the following practices and principles:

1. | Use of Benchmarking. We benchmark our executive compensation levels to our compensation peer group and to the market generally to ensure that our pay practices are in line with recognized practices of like-sized manufacturing companies.

2. | Work with Compensation Consultant. In Fiscal Year 2022, the Compensation and Development Committee utilized Willis Towers Watson as its compensation consultant.

3. | Seek to Attract and Retain Top Level Talent. The Committee aims for pay practices that are competitive with industry competitors who are our local competition for talent.

4. | Align the Pay Plan with Shareholder Interests. The Committee supports a pay plan that places a significant portion of our

| executives’ pay at risk, making it variable and dependent upon the pre-tax profits of our business and ROIC and FCF.

5. | Incentivize Sustained Profitability. The Committee promotes a pay plan that incentivizes our executives to deliver sustained profitability for our Shareholders within the guidelines of good corporate governance. The three-year vesting schedule for the RSU component of our LTI, and the multi-year performance measurement period for the PSU component of our LTI, not only helps retain key talent, but also incentivizes management to perform over the long term.

6. | Identify and Manage Risk. Our Committee evaluates and seeks to minimize risk exposure that is inherent in any pay for performance plan. A strong “no fault” clawback policy, discussed below, helps mitigate the risk as does diligent review of the process that results in compensation decisions.

7. | No Option awards granted.

41

##### Table of Contents

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

8. | Review and Evaluate Tally Sheets.

9. | Maintain a Simple, Transparent Pay Program and Avoid Any Significant Perquisites for our Executives. Our NEOs get no perquisites that are not paid to all of THOR’s full-time employees other than a periodic physical exam. Like all employees at THOR who are compensated at a level greater than $135,000 per year, our NEOs are ineligible for our 401(k) program but are eligible for our non-matching deferred compensation program.

10. | Exercise Limited or No Discretion. Our pay program is designed to award our management team when performance merits it and to respond appropriately when performance does not. Accordingly, we do not actively revisit the outputs from our program to adjust pay upward or downward. While we have, on very limited occasion, issued unplanned discretionary bonuses in the circumstances of a limited, not likely to be repeated, outstanding performance, we otherwise do not generally exercise discretion in awarding compensation to our NEOs.

11. | Maintain a “no fault” clawback policy. Our Board of Directors is required to clawback any incentive-based compensation paid to any employee within three (3) years of the issuance of any restated financial statement if such restated financial statement impacts the amount of incentive compensation that should have been paid under any incentive-based pay program.

12. | Avoid Single Trigger Vesting of Equity- based Awards upon Change in Control. In Fiscal Year 2015, the Board approved (for implementation in Fiscal Year 2016) a double trigger for all future awards and grants requiring either a corresponding change in employment status or the failure of an acquirer to assume the award before any change in control would result in the accelerated vesting of such award.

13. | Prohibit hedging or pledging of Company Securities by our NEOs or Board Members. The Company prohibits our Executive Officers and members of its Board of Directors from engaging in any hedging transactions, transacting short sales, or pledging any Company stock.

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Looking Back: Reviewing The Elements Of Compensation From Fiscal Year 2022

Base Salary

Base salaries are part of the compensation package paid to our executives and are determined according to various factors, including benchmarking, experience, talent, contribution, industry standards, expectations, and performance.

On an annual basis, all employees’ base salaries are reviewed for possible adjustments. Adjustments, though, are not automatic. Instead, they are determined in conjunction with available benchmarking data and/or merit-based factors, driven either by exceptional performance or promotion that often is based on experience with our Company.

For our executives, the Compensation and Development Committee considers the market practices of our peer group as a guide for recognized ranges of base compensation but, with our emphasis on

performance-based pay, the Compensation and Development Committee intentionally sets base salaries for our CEO and other NEOs well below average for our peer group.

For Fiscal Year 2022, no adjustment to base salaries were made for our existing NEOs. When Mr. Gasper was named an executive officer in December 2021, his base salary was set at $400,000.

Our CEO’s base salary of $750,000 is the lowest in our 2023 peer group and is over 20% lower than the next lowest base salary in that peer group. Our COO (5% lower than the next lowest) and General Counsel (25% lower than the next lowest) also have base salaries that are the lowest in their respective 2023 peer group comparisons and our SVP of Administration and HR and CFO have base salaries at the 26th and 42nd percentile respectively.

Variable Incentive Compensation

Variable performance-based elements comprise a great percentage of our NEOs’ compensation. Payouts under these elements (our MIP and LTI) are determined based on our NBT, FCF, and ROIC measured against the Board’s forecast for the fiscal year. As stated above, our NEOs’ base salary is intentionally depressed compared to market, emphasizing this incentive-based pay. For Fiscal Year 2022, our NEOs’ compensation was approximately 91% incentive-based pay. Our compensation philosophy has long promoted such heavy reliance on variable performance-based pay relative to the Board’s forecast for the Fiscal Year. As such, even though Fiscal Year 2022 led to a record year for our Company on both the top and bottom line, actual payouts to our NEOs were less than Fiscal Year 2021 with the exception of Mr. Woelfer’s, whose compensation was virtually flat despite his promotion to COO. Thus, the plan performed well in this exceptional year as compensation did not increase simply because the Company’s NBT, FCF, and ROIC increased on an absolute basis.

43

##### Table of Contents

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Cash-Based Variable Incentive Awards

Cash-based variable incentive compensation consists of our MIP. We generally rely on GAAP numbers for purposes of calculating our NBT which includes standard adjustments, to exclude gains/losses as a result of LIFO, non-controlling interests, impairments, and certain foreign currency exchange gains/losses. The performance metrics by which NBT is multiplied for the performance-based cash incentive compensation for our NEOs are determined prior to our Fiscal Year or within the first portion thereof and are a factor of the compensation benchmarking process and our Company’s forecast. The amount of cash incentive compensation for our NEOs is calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. The incentive formulas for our Fiscal Year 2022 MIP and cash payouts for our NEOs were as follows:

Name |  | Performance Metric |  | Award
Robert W. Martin |  | 0.511% of Company Adjusted Net Before Tax |  | $7,725,472
Colleen Zuhl |  | 0.153% of Company Adjusted Net Before Tax |  | $2,313,106
Todd Woelfer |  | 0.178% of Company Adjusted Net Before Tax |  | $2,691,065
Kenneth D. Julian |  | 0.064% of Company Adjusted Net Before Tax |  | $967,574
Trevor Q. Gasper |  | 0.020% of Company Adjusted Net Before Tax |  | $303,510

The receipt of the cash incentive compensation is contingent upon the executive being employed with the Company or an operating subsidiary at the time of payment; certification by our Compensation and Development Committee that the amount proposed to be paid under the Plan is consistent with predetermined formulas; and that, upon considering any relevant factors including our no-fault clawback policy, there exists no cause to consider payment of a lesser amount.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan

Our LTI is comprised of both RSUs and PSUs. The PSUs granted in Fiscal Year 2022 will be evaluated on a three-year cycle with the number of shares to be awarded based on performance after the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2024. Like the MIP, the RSU component of our LTI used Fiscal Year 2022 NBT as the metric to determine the number of RSUs awarded under the plan.

The RSUs awarded in Fiscal Year 2022, based on the metrics below, vest in three (3) equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary date of the grant. Participants must remain employees of our Company or one of its subsidiaries through the vesting period to be entitled to receive the stock that is issued upon vesting of the RSUs. An important tool for talent retention, our LTI program provides that any employee who leaves our Company before the vesting date immediately forfeits their right to receive any and all outstanding unvested RSUs and forfeits outstanding PSUs for which the relevant performance period has not ended.

Additional Compensation Elements

Benefits and Perquisites

Unlike most of our peers, we offer no benefits or perquisites to our NEOs that are not available to our broader employee population with the exception of a requested periodic physical exam to track the health of our NEOs.

Retirement Plans

Our Company does not offer retirement plans to our NEOs. Furthermore, consistent with past practice, our NEOs were excluded from eligibility in our company-sponsored 401(k) plan in Fiscal Year 2022, but may participate in our non-matching Deferred Compensation Program that is available to all full-time employees who are precluded from participating in our 401(k) program.

Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines

In Fiscal Year 2013, our Board adopted stock ownership guidelines for our NEOs and our Board. In Fiscal Year 2015, our Board’s ownership guideline was increased to three (3) times the Board retainer amount. In October 2022, this guideline was increased to four (4) times the Board retainer amount. The guidelines require retention of the following levels of stock:

Title |  | Stock Level
Chief Executive Officer |  | 5 times base salary
Other NEOs |  | 3 times base salary
Board of Directors |  | 4 times base annual retainer

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Our NEOs must satisfy the requirement within five (5) years of their first LTI award at their current position. The Board of Directors must satisfy the requirement within five (5) years of the date of their first annual award. All Board members and NEOs are either in compliance with the guidelines or are expected to come into compliance once the guideline becomes applicable.

Clawback Policy

As mentioned above, on a “no fault” basis, our Board of Directors is required to clawback any excess incentive-based compensation paid to any employee within three (3) years of the issuance of any restated financial statement if such restated financial statement impacts the amount of incentive compensation that should have been paid under any incentive-based pay program. Our clawback policy is strong and would be fully compliant with the SEC’s proposed rules to implement the Clawback provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our Company prohibits our Executive Officers and members of its Board of Directors from engaging in any hedging transactions, transacting short sales, or pledging any Company stock.

Severance Plans and Change in Control Agreements

Our Company has employment agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. Adopted during Fiscal Year 2021, these contracts contain robust non-competition and non-solicitation agreements that were not previously part of our NEOs’ employment relationship with the Company and, prior to 2021, were not standard within the industry. The purpose of the contracts and non-competition provisions was to secure the exclusive services of our Management team for their duration and for

a period of time post-employment. The RV Industry is very competitive and its history is replete with examples of key leaders leaving one company to start competitive businesses. Given Management’s longevity and track record of growth with the Company, the contracts were important to secure and to protect the Company. As such, an essential element of the contract was that each executive agreed not to compete against the Company during the term of his or her employment and for a period of two (2) years following termination of employment. In an industry with a low barrier to entry and where relationships with suppliers and dealers are critical to a company’s success, the Company obtained a substantial benefit by collecting non-competition agreements from its NEOs.

A cornerstone of the THOR Industries, Inc. 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan (as amended) (our “2016 Plan”) is its double-trigger vesting requirement. Specifically, the 2016 Plan provides for the vesting of shares only upon the occurrence of both a Change in Control (as defined by the 2016 Plan) and either a corresponding change in the employment status or the failure of an acquirer to assume the awards.

The aggregate value of change in control and termination benefits for each NEO is summarized under the subheading, “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control and Agreements with Resigning Officers” on page 63.

Section 409A of the Code

Our compensation plans and programs are designed to comply with Section 409A of the Code, which places strict restrictions on plans that provide for the deferral of compensation.

How We Make Compensation Decisions and Why We Made Them for Fiscal Year 2022

The Compensation Committee

Our Compensation and Development Committee is responsible for the oversight of our compensation plan. Each year, the Committee engages in a thorough evaluation of the performance of our NEOs.

The Board of Directors conducts a review of our CEO, Mr. Martin. These evaluations are significant factors to the Committee as it determines the percentage of the peer group benchmark at which to set target compensation.

Mr. Martin does not participate in his own performance evaluation or in setting his own compensation. For the other NEOs, the Chairman and CEO evaluate each NEO’s individual performance and recommend a tailored compensation plan that relies upon peer benchmark data for that individual to the Compensation and Development Committee. The Compensation and Development Committee then reviews and votes to approve or modify these recommendations.

For more information on the Compensation and Development Committee, view our Corporate Governance Section of this Proxy Statement. Additionally, the Compensation and Development Committee’s charter can be found on our website at www.thorindustries.com.

Our Independent Compensation Consultant

In Fiscal Year 2022, the Compensation and Development Committee utilized Willis Towers Watson as its compensation consultant. Willis Towers Watson reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee is empowered to retain or replace Willis Towers Watson or hire additional consultants at any time. A representative of Willis Towers Watson regularly attends the Committee meetings and provides data and advice to the Committee

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

throughout the year. Additionally, a representative from Willis Towers Watson regularly meets in executive session with the Committee.

Willis Towers Watson’s role is to provide market and peer group data and to advise the Committee on compensation-related decisions.

During Fiscal Year 2022, the compensation consultant provided the following services to the Committee:

• |  | Provided periodic reports of executive compensation trends;

• |  | Provided peer group analysis, including benchmarking data, supporting recommendations for the Company’s executive compensation;

• |  | Reviewed drafts and commented on elements of the Company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis;

• |  | Advised the Committee of regulatory developments; and

• |  | Ran TSR analyses for our Committee.

In Fiscal Year 2022, the total fees and expenses attributable to Willis Towers Watson were $133,592.

Our Compensation Peer Group

Importantly, Willis Towers Watson assists the Committee in determining an appropriate compensation peer group. Our Company has a unique challenge in its peer review process. With the exception of two competitors who are not reasonable compensation peers due to significant size differences, none of the companies with whom we

compete for industry-based talent are publicly-traded and, therefore, our competitors do not publicly disclose their compensation practices. Geographic proximity to our competitors makes the competition for key industry talent an ever-present challenge. Our compensation plans are developed with that fact in mind and are designed to attract and retain industry-leading talent through a program that is reasonable and heavily tied to our Company’s financial performance. In Fiscal Year 2022, as it has previously, THOR benchmarked its executive pay against a peer group of publicly-traded companies and used this data in conjunction with our own industry-specific knowledge in evaluating its executive compensation practices. The Compensation and Development Committee periodically reviews and, as indicated, updates the peer group. Our general guidelines for our peer group are to include companies that are one-half to two times our revenue. Our peer group represents manufacturing companies of similar size as expressed in sales and market capitalization. Additionally, we sought to identify manufacturing firms that introduce their products to market through dealerships or franchises. While the compensation peer group is not comprised of our market competitors, it nevertheless provides a somewhat meaningful basis for market comparison of our executive compensation packages. Included in our peer evaluation was the consideration of the disclosed peers of the members of our peer group. We believe the peer group below represents a good comparator group for our Company. Our peer group for Fiscal Year 2022 consisted of the following companies:

48

##### Table of Contents

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

We evaluate our pay for performance system on a regular and consistent basis. In doing so, we analyze the peer group’s compensation data as reported in their most recent proxy statements. In this process, we measure actual pay data with comparable NEOs and the aggregate NEO compensation. We also evaluate the fixed and incentive-based variables of our compensation program as compared to the peer group. This information is then presented to the Committee for its consideration as it determines the appropriate compensation of our NEOs.

Measuring the Alignment: Evaluating the Relationship Between our Fiscal Year 2022 Performance and our Compensation

As noted above, our founders developed a pay strategy that was specifically intended to align pay with Company financial performance, which, over the long-term, aligns the pay with our shareholders. Fiscal Year 2022 posed a third straight year of testing our compensation plan’s ability to align pay with shareholder return in a uniquely tumultuous market. Our Fiscal Year 2022 results include:

• |  | An increase in net income of over 72% to $1.14 billion; and

• |  | Diluted earnings per share up nearly 74% to $20.59.

CEO Compensation (Mr. Martin)

The chart below compares the change of our CEO’s compensation to the percentage increases of our net income and EPS for Fiscal Year 2022.

##### Table of Contents

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Consistent with prior years, our Fiscal Year 2022 compensation plan relied heavily upon variable incentive-based pay. The following graph and table depict the relative breakdown between base salary and variable incentive pay for Mr. Martin.

|  | FY 2022 |  |  | Metric |  |  | FY 2021 |  |  | Metric |  |  | % Change |
Base Salary |  |  | $750,000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $750,000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 0% |
Annual Incentive Award |  |  | $7,725,472 |  |  |  | 0.511%(1) |  |  |  | $9,687,843 |  |  |  | 1.161% |  |  |  | -20.3% |
Long Term Incentive |  |  | $7,391,246 |  |  |  | 0.585%(2) |  |  |  | $8,648,124 |  |  |  | 1.318% |  |  |  | -14.5% |
Total Compensation |  |  | $15,866,718 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $19,085,967 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | -16.9% |

| (1) | Mr. Martin’s Annual Incentive Award percentage is factored against the Company’s NBT.

| (2) | Mr. Martin’s Long Term Incentive percentage was comprised of RSUs which were awarded at .293% of NBT and PSUs which will be evaluated and awarded over a three-year performance period based on performance against FCF and ROIC goals. For purposes of this chart, the PSUs were recognized at targeted amount.

As demonstrated in the charts below, implementation of our philosophy resulted in approximately 95% of our CEO compensation and approximately 91% of our NEO compensation being variable, performance-based compensation for Fiscal Year 2022. The charts reveal a heavy dependency of the pay program on variable, performance-based compensation. While our Compensation and Development Committee maintains discretion (which discretion was not exercised in Fiscal Year 2022) to issue appropriate and necessary bonuses to our NEOs to ensure retention of key talent and also to ensure that formulaic bonuses are earned in the context of good governance, ethics, and business practices, the performance-based incentive compensation portion of the NEO compensation generally increases and decreases based upon the profitability of the Company.

2022 CEO Pay Ratio

|  | In accordance with SEC rules, for Fiscal Year 2022, we determined the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee and present a comparison of that annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our President and CEO, Robert W. Martin: •The Fiscal Year 2022 annual total compensation of Mr. Martin was $15,866,718. •The Fiscal Year 2022 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $54,701. •Accordingly, the ratio of Mr. Martin’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median compensated employee for Fiscal Year 2022 was 290 to 1*. *This ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.

Identification of Median Employee

As of July 31, 2022, the end of our fiscal year, we had approximately 23,000 U.S. employees and approximately 9,000 non-U.S. employees. Of this number, approximately 2,500 U.S. employees were employed by entities acquired during Fiscal Year 2021 as well as approximately 1,200 more U.S. employees from entities acquired in early Fiscal Year 2022, and therefore, excluded from our determination of the median employee previously. This year we were required (under SEC rules) to recalculate our median employee with the inclusion of these U.S. employees. Therefore, our median employee has been updated for Fiscal year 2022. Our non-U.S. employee’s compensation was converted into U.S. dollars.

2022 CEO PAY RATIO

|  | 2022 Total Compensation |  |  | CEO Pay Ratio |
Robert Martin |  |  | $15,866,718 |  |  |  | 290:1 |
Median Employee |  |  | $54,701 |  |  |  |  |

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

For Fiscal Year 2022, the Compensation and Development Committee was comprised entirely of the five (5) independent Directors listed on page 51. No member of the Compensation and Development Committee is a current or, during our Fiscal Year 2022 or any time before, was a former officer or employee of the Company or any of its operating subsidiaries. During Fiscal Year 2022, no member of the Compensation and Development Committee had a relationship that must be described under SEC rules relating to disclosure of related person transactions. In Fiscal Year 2022, none of our Executive Officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that had one or more of its executive officers serving on the Board or the Compensation and Development Committee of the Company.

Compensation Risk Assessment

As our Compensation and Development Committee evaluates our compensation programs, it considers many areas of risk potentially associated with the various programs as well as steps that can be taken to mitigate those risks. The process of risk consideration and, when appropriate, mitigation is a dynamic process that is considered at each meeting. This process includes consideration of many factors, including:

| • |  | Oversight of the business and our MIP and LTI provided to our NEOs;

| • |  | Heavily weighted performance-based compensation;

| • |  | Our entrepreneurial culture, which we believe encourages employees to think like owners;

| • |  | Our internal controls, which we believe to be very strong and are consistently reviewed for further opportunity of improvement;

| • |  | Rigorous internal audits that are conducted throughout our Company on a regular basis;

| • |  | Our enterprise risk management program, including an annual assessment of the risks facing our Company led by senior management;

| • |  | Stock Ownership Guidelines, the time-based vesting component of RSU awards under our LTI and the multi-year performance measurement periods for the FCF and ROIC components of PSUs awarded under our LTI, which encourage long-term value creation, and serve to counterbalance potentially significant short-term incentive-based compensation;

| • |  | The performance criteria of our MIP and LTI programs, which emphasize overall business results over individual performance;

| • |  | Linear award calculations under our MIP, with no steep payout curves or disproportionate increases in compensation payout thresholds that might create incentives to take greater risks for greater rewards;

| • |  | Historically, the same metric – pre-tax profits – used each year; which metric has not been changed to take advantage of any benefits associated with short-term circumstances and which metric has been supplemented with the FCF and ROIC components for our LTI;

| • |  | Our ability to consider non-financial, compliance, and other qualitative performance factors in determining actual compensation payouts for Executive Officers;

| • |  | Our ability to use downward discretion and clawback payments;

| • |  | Finance officers of each of our operating subsidiaries report to our Chief Financial Officer; and

| • |  | The relative performance of the pay program as assessed through the analytics utilized by shareholder advisory firms, which allows for dynamic monitoring of the pay program’s alignment with our compensation group peers and our own performance.

We do not believe that our compensation program creates risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, we will continue to monitor all risks associated with the pay practices.

Due to the lack of identified targets and pursuant to SEC guidance, the targets listed here are representative targets equal to amounts that would be earned in Fiscal Year 2022 under our non-equity incentive plan and under the RSU component of our equity incentive plan based on our Fiscal Year 2021 results. With respect to the RSU component of our LTI, NBT is denominated in dollars, but the relevant percentage of NBT earned will be paid out in restricted stock units in the form of whatever number of shares of the Company on a 1-to-1 basis that amount translates into at the time of the payout.

The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of such stock units. Because this award is based on a percentage of our pre-tax profits, it is impossible to calculate targets and meaningful maximum amounts for such awards. Refer to footnotes 1 and 2.

Payout for the PSUs will be adjusted based upon the following schedule (with ROIC and FCF components weighted equally): Less than 50% Realization of Target – 0% payout of award; 50% - 150% Realization of Target – actual percentage of realization will equal the percentage of payout; Greater than 150% Realization of Target – 200% payout of award.

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

Summary of Equity Compensation Plans

THOR Industries, Inc. 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan (as amended)

Our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended) (the “2016 Plan”) is designed to enable us to obtain and retain the services of the types of employees and Directors who will contribute to our long-range success and to provide incentives that are linked directly to increases in share value, which will inure to the benefit of our Shareholders. During Fiscal Year 2022, the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2016 Plan, as amended, is 3,600,000 (subject to adjustment to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in our capital structure), with 1,878,887 shares remaining available as of July 31, 2022 to be granted under the 2016 Plan, subject to recycling provisions in the 2016 Plan for canceled, forfeited, or expired shares.

Administration

The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Development Committee (our “Committee”). Among other responsibilities, the Committee selects participants from among the eligible individuals, determines the number of shares of Common Stock that will be subject to each award, and prescribes the terms and conditions of each award, including without limitation the exercise price, methods of payment, vesting provisions, and restrictions on awards.

Eligibility

Our employees and Directors and those of our affiliated companies, as well as those whom we reasonably expect to become our employees and Directors or those of our affiliated companies, are eligible to receive awards.

Available Equity Awards

Stock Options

Under the 2016 Plan, the Committee may grant incentive and non-statutory stock options. The exercise price of an incentive or non-statutory stock

option must generally be at least 100% (and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a more than 10% Shareholder, 110%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to that option on the date that option is granted. The Committee determines the rate at which options vest (provided options granted under the 2016 Plan may vest only after the expiration of a minimum one-year period from the date of the award) and any other conditions with respect to exercise of the options, in each case subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan. Only employees may be granted incentive stock options.

Restricted Awards and Performance Compensation Awards

Our Committee may award actual shares of our Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or hypothetical Common Stock units having a value equal to the fair market value of an identical number of shares of our Common Stock and paid in the form of shares of Common Stock or cash (“Restricted Stock Units”). The Committee may generally determine, in its sole discretion, the terms of each award, including

58

##### Table of Contents

the applicable restricted period prior to delivery or settlement of the award. Participants generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends; provided, that, any cash dividends and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock are withheld by the Company for the participant’s account, and not paid by the Company unless and until the restrictions on the Restricted Stock have lapsed. Participants have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units. At the discretion of the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit may be credited with cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one share of Common Stock. Such dividend equivalents are held by the Company for the participant’s account, and not paid by the Company unless and until the restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units have lapsed. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit awards may be subject to forfeiture. Generally Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may not be sold or transferred during the restricted period. The Committee may provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any restricted award.

Under the 2016 Plan, the Committee may designate relevant awards as performance compensation. Performance compensation awards entitle the recipients to receive Common Stock or hypothetical common share units upon the attainment of specified performance goals. Cash bonuses may also be designated as performance compensation awards.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Committee may, in its discretion, grant stock appreciation rights to participants under our 2016 Plan. Generally, stock appreciation rights permit a participant to exercise the right and receive a payment equal to the value of our Common Stock’s appreciation over a span of time in excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the stock appreciation right.

Adjustments in Capitalization

If there is a specified type of change in our Common Stock, such as stock or extraordinary cash dividends,

59

##### Table of Contents

THOR INDUSTRIES, INC.

stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization, appropriate equitable adjustments or substitutions will generally be made to the various limits under, and the share terms of, the 2016 Plan and the awards granted thereunder. In addition, in the event of certain mergers, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or our reorganization or liquidation, the Committee may cancel outstanding awards and cause participants to receive, in cash, stock, or a combination thereof, the value of the awards.

Amendments

Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the 2016 Plan or awards thereunder at any time, provided that amendments to the 2016 Plan will not be effective without Shareholder approval if such approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange requirements and amendments to awards without participant approval generally may not impair the participant’s rights under the award. In addition, under the terms of the 2016 Plan, the Company generally may only reduce the exercise price of an option or stock appreciation right, or cancel outstanding option and stock appreciation rights in exchange for cash, other awards or options or stock appreciation rights with a lower exercise price, with Shareholder approval.

Change in Control under the 2016 Plan

Subject to the terms of an award agreement, in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2016 Plan, (i) any and all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2016 Plan shall become immediately exercisable unless such awards are assumed, converted, replaced, or continued by the continuing entity; provided, however, that in the event of a participant’s termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason within twenty-four (24) months following consummation of a change in control, any awards so assumed, converted, replaced, or continued will become immediately exercisable; (ii) any restriction imposed on a restricted award or performance compensation award shall lapse unless such awards are assumed, converted, replaced, or continued by the continuing

entity; provided, however, that in the event of a participant’s termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason within twenty-four (24) months following consummation of a change in control, the restrictions on any awards so assumed, converted, replaced, or continued shall lapse; and (iii) the portion of any and all performance compensation awards that remain outstanding following the occurrence of a change in control shall be determined by applying actual performance from the beginning of the performance period through the date of the change in control using the performance formula to determine the amount of the payout or distribution rounded to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the change in control occurs prior to the end of a performance period for an award, the performance formula shall generally be adjusted to take into account the shorter period of time available to achieve the performance goals.

The portion of an award that remains outstanding following the occurrence of a change in control shall vest in full at the end of the performance period set forth in such award so long as the participant’s employment (or if the participant is a Director, service) with the Company or one of its subsidiaries does not terminate until the end of the performance period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such portion shall vest in full upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the termination of the participant by the Company without cause, (ii) the refusal of the continuing entity to assume, convert, replace, or continue the award, or (iii) the resignation of the participant for good reason.

“Cause” as used in the 2016 Plan generally means the employee has committed or pled guilty to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, has engaged in conduct likely to result in harm to the Company’s reputation, has been grossly negligent, has engaged in willful misconduct with respect to the Company, or violated federal or state securities laws. “Good reason” as used in the 2016 Plan generally means a diminution of the participant’s duties or authority, any relocation of more than 50 miles, or a material reduction in salary.

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

Summary of Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company approved and adopted the amended and restated THOR Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (our “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The general purpose of our Deferred Compensation Plan is to provide our eligible employees with the benefits of an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation program.

Under our Deferred Compensation Plan, for each calendar year, participants may elect to defer any portions of their salary and bonus amounts. The amounts are credited to the participant’s individual account, which is credited with earnings and losses based on the performance of certain investment funds selected by us and elected by the participant. The Company does not offer any type of matching or other awards for our NEOs.

Participants are vested in their elective deferrals at all times. Vested benefits become payable under our Deferred Compensation Plan (i) upon the participant’s separation from service, (ii) upon the occurrence of a change in control, (iii) upon the participant’s death or disability, or (iv) in connection with a severe financial hardship due to an unforeseen emergency (but in this case amounts payable are limited to the amount necessary to satisfy the emergency plus anticipated taxes). In each case, payment will be made within ninety (90) days following the event triggering the payment unless the participant is determined by our Board to be a specified employee under Section 409A of the Code and the payment trigger is the participant’s separation from service, in which case the payment will be delayed for a period of six (6) months.

At the time the participant makes a deferral election, the participant may elect a lump sum payment or installment payments spreading payment over a period of time not to exceed 15 years upon separation from service.

Our Compensation and Development Committee administers our Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Compensation and Development Committee has the ability to modify or terminate the plan, provided that

any modification or termination does not adversely affect the rights of any participant or beneficiary as to amounts under the plan. Our Compensation and Development Committee also has the ability to terminate our Deferred Compensation Plan and accelerate the payments of all vested accounts in connection with certain corporate dissolutions or changes in control, provided that the acceleration is permissible under Section 409A of the Code. Our Deferred Compensation Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control and Agreements with Resigning Officers

Except for (i) potential payments under our Deferred Compensation Plan, (ii) the previously discussed lapsing of restrictions on certain restricted awards, as of July 31, 2022, and (iii) amounts provided for in the employment agreements between our NEOs and the Company described below, there were no potential obligations owed to our NEOs or their beneficiaries under existing plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, in the event of a change in control or termination of employment, including because of death, disability, or retirement.

The Company and its Named Executive Officers who have been with the Company a minimum of two (2) years are party to separate but identical employment contracts. As discussed above, the contracts provide for certain robust non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality undertakings. Prior to June 2021, the Company did not enjoy these protections and left itself open to competition from its Management in the event of a separation of employment, which is a real substantial risk in an industry with a low barrier to entry and susceptible to start-ups like the recreational vehicle industry.

If an executive’s employment is terminated or not renewed by the Company for reasons other than cause, death, or disability, or is terminated by the executive for good reason, the executive would generally be entitled to certain severance benefits, including: (i) an amount equal to the total cash

63

##### Table of Contents

compensation paid to the executive during the prior two (2) fiscal years of executive’s employment; (ii) a fully vested share award equal to the share awards granted to the executive during the last two (2) fiscal years of executive’s employment in his or her current position (provided that performance share awards granted in the last two (2) fiscal years of the executive’s employment will be included in the severance award only if the sum of the executive’s age plus years of service with the Company is equal to or greater than 65 (the “Rule of 65”)); (iii) payment of COBRA premiums for up to 24 months following termination, and (iv) up to 12 months of outplacement services.

If the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason within 24 months after a change in control (i.e. a double trigger event), then the executive would be entitled to the benefits described in clauses (i) and (ii) for periods of three (3) fiscal years or 36 months, as applicable.

If the executive’s employment is terminated by the executive without good reason or by the death or disability of the executive, the executive would be entitled to a pro rata portion of any incentive awards related to the year of termination and vesting of a pro rata portion of incentive share awards and previously

granted share awards would vest as follows: all unvested RSU awards would vest in accordance with the established vesting schedule and all unvested performance share awards would terminate, unless the Rule of 65 is satisfied, in which case they would vest at target amounts in accordance with the established vesting schedule.

Our Deferred Compensation Plan provides for payment of the vested deferred amounts upon termination of employment and following a change in control. Under our Deferred Compensation Plan, if an NEO’s employment terminated on or before July 31, 2022, or if the NEO died or became disabled, the entire vested account balance (reported in the “Aggregate Balance at 7/31/22” column of the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table above) would be paid. A change in control would also trigger payment to the NEO. The Outstanding Equity Awards at 2022 Fiscal Year-End table provides the fair value of outstanding restricted stock units and performance shares that would have vested upon a change of control and either a corresponding change in employment status or the failure of the acquirer to assume such awards occurring as of July 31, 2022. The Performance Shares would vest at the threshold level performance depicted in the Outstanding Equity Awards table.

Certain Relationships and Transactions with Management

Our Audit Committee is required to review and approve all related party transactions that are required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. All such related party transactions must also be approved by the disinterested members of our Board if required by Delaware General Corporation Law. Through its review for Fiscal Year 2022 activity, the Audit Committee identified no such transactions.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

The federal securities laws require the filing of certain reports by officers, directors, and beneficial owners of more than ten percent (10%) of our securities with the SEC and the NYSE. Specific due dates have been established and we are required to disclose in this Proxy Statement any failure to file by these dates. Based solely on a review of copies of Section 16 filings filed electronically with the SEC and, as applicable, written representations that no such filings were required, the Company believes that all filing requirements for transactions in Fiscal Year 2022 were satisfied by each of our Officers and Directors, and ten percent (10%) Shareholders of the Company during Fiscal Year 2022.

Shareholder Proposals

In order to submit Shareholder proposals for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8, materials must be received by the Secretary at the Company’s principal office, no later than July 5, 2023, provided that if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after December 16, 2023, then the deadline will be a reasonable time before the Company makes available its proxy materials.

Shareholder director nominations for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement under the Company’s proxy access program must be received by the

Secretary at the Company’s principal office not before June 5, 2023 or after July 5, 2023, provided, however, that if the date for which the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is called is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after December 16, 2023, then notice by the nominating Shareholder to be timely must be received by the Secretary of the Company by the later of the close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of such annual meeting is first made.

The Company’s By-Laws also establish an advance notice procedure with regard to director nominations and shareholder proposals that are not submitted for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, but that a shareholder instead wishes to present directly at an annual meeting. To properly bring before the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a nomination or other matter the Shareholder wishes to present at the meeting, Shareholder written notification of such matter, must be received by the Secretary at the Company’s principal office not before August 24, 2023, or after September 18, 2023, provided that if the date for which the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is called is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after December 16, 2023, then notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be received by the Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 100th day prior to the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and not later than the later of (i) the 75th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

All Shareholder proposals must comply with all of the requirements of SEC Rule 14a-8 or the Company’s By-Laws, as applicable. The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with applicable requirements.
